darkest of days retail
 

i have seen a retail on ebay so it is not steam only. i guess exist a retail with securom as well anyway

and your point is?

Because you saw a retail disc on ebay that means its not steam?

My how the hell did I buy my Half Life 2... oh yeah retail :P

retail copy could be anyway steam free. SKIDROW release is not retail so who know

And why you mentioning Skidrow release?

i mentioned Skidorow release because it is a rip and not a retail version you can buy into stores. i am not sure what protection retail use because no one have still released it. only on ebay i found it

now steam is telling that it is out 13 october (1 month and 3 days) so what is the SKIDROW version then? another leaked? O_o

yup certaintly seems that skidrow either have a contact who leaks, or they have a time machine :)

manual patch 1.04 is out. so i guess a retail steam free exist and on steam it is not still out anyway. but what protection it have? a proper crack is not out yet for it so i have to wait?

user12 = shop12 ?

:D

Yes, most probably. Thread closed.

unpacked the nullsoft setup archive and scanned the game.exe:

no SteamStub, SecuROM, Tages whatsoever...
probably a disc check only in the retail.
